New to the forum. I'm from a small town in south GA. I have cooked for years on a ECB & SNP. Just replaced the SNP with a CG w/SFB. I was given the nickname by a friend on a sports list I frequent several years ago. He not only knew of my passion for pork bbq but sometimes stubborn demeanor. So the name fits.

Well my names Matt when im from new england originaly so the yankee part. But im not a yankee fan so that there is no mistakes im a red sox fan threw and threw. And as for the Bubba part im a big guy when i moved to Florida from New england i had the typical accent and because i was getting made fun of i started making fun back and doing a off the wall southern accent to make fun so my teacher called me a bubba. Well that stuck with me till this day and that was a good 14+ years ago.

I use it everywhere.
I have three grand kids. (they call me PaPa go figure)
The dashes or hyphens just make it easier to use because Gramps is a popular name I guess, although I don't remember seeing it in awhile.
When I play Battlefield Heroes or MOH, or BF2 or any COD game online, my screen name is LtGramps.
